"Somersaults, handstands, cartwheels--tumbling is good exercise, and it's lots of fun with Elmo!"--P. [4] of cover.

Elmo (with his mommy as spotting for safety) demonstrates a somersault, cartwheel, and tripod-into-handstand to show toddlers how much fun it can be to move around, shake things up, and get some exercise! The tone is full of energy and emphasizes enjoyment of physical activity rather than imparting a weighty message. Sturdy board pages will hold up to repeated readings, which this engaging book is sure to get.

Elmo is just too big for his crib! He’s finally ready to sleep in a big kid’s bed! It may take a little while, but with his favorite snuggly blanket and his teddy bear, David, by his side, soon Elmo feels comfortable in his new bed.

Elmo, who likes books, is suddenly transported away from them and Sesame Street while flying a kite.

Okay, everybodee (as Grover would say), it’s time for some exercise! So shake a leg—and every other limb—to get warmed up for some fitness and fun. Toddlers will have a good giggle as the Sesame monsters try different routines to get in shape. They can even follow along and get their own kid-sized workout—if they don’t fall down laughing instead!

Elmo and his friends play a variation of everyone’ s favorite game, “Simon Says.” “Elmo Says,” is just like the original, except that here, our favorite furry little red monster leads the action. Toddlers and adults can read and join in the play—they just have to be careful to listen for those magic words: Elmo says!

Elmo is host of a talk show on the Happy Healthy Monsters Network. The topic of the day is hygiene and Sesame Street guests help Elmo demonstrate hygiene dos and don’ts. Topics covered are handwashing, bathing, tooth care, preventing the spread of germs, and more. Humorous text and illustrations make learning about how to stay healthy both easy and fun!

The valentine that Elmo makes is passed from friend to friend until it eventually ends up back in Elmo's hands. A cardboard valentine can be moved from page to page throughout the story.

Thereðs something waiting at the end of this book. Could it beÛa monster?! Lovable, furry old Grover is about to find outÜand heðs bringing his equally lovable and furry friend Elmo with him!

Elmo and his friends have lots of fun saying oodles of words with interesting sounds—and which sometimes feel a little funny in the mouth—such as pop, zip, hopscotch, growl, snip, gurgle, squiggly, ticktock, and lots more. There are giggles galore for babies and toddlers on every single page!
